Harrigan’s Phone follows a child named Craig who takes an afternoon job reading to Mr. King’s newest collection, If It Bleeds, contains a similar though much lighter story. Subtitled Summer of Discontent, Apt Pupil tells the story of Todd Bowden, a teenager who blackmails his neighbor–a former Nazi hiding in suburbia–into teaching him the trade of murder and depravity. Though aligned with summer, the second story in the collection, Apt Pupil, is easily the darkest. The only story that has yet to be adapted is the fourth novella, The Breathing Method, a Christmas Story about a horrifying miracle birth. The collection’s third novella, The Body is the inspiration for Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me and the first, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, was adapted into Frank Darabont’s film (with a shortened title) which still holds the highest ranking on IMDb.

They both attended the University of Marburg where they developed a curiosity about German folklore, which grew into a lifelong dedication to collecting German folk tales. Their father’s death in 1796 caused great poverty for the family and affected the brothers for many years after. The brothers spent their formative years in the German town of Hanau. Their first collection of folk tales was published in 1812. They were among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, and popularised stories such as ‘Cinderella’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and ‘Rumpelstiltskin’. The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785 - 1863) and Wilhelm (1786 - 1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together specialised in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century.

My biggest complaint about this book was that I wanted MORE zombie bashing! For a story set in a zombie wasteland, Maberry makes these beings a small part of the novel. I expected a story filled with zombie bashing, horror scenes, and general guts and stuff. He described it as the epitome of “boy books” and as a series they can read enjoyably all year. Review: I was pumped to read this book after hearing about it from an inservice teacher at a conference. It’s now up to the Imura brothers and the mysterious Lost Girl to rescue Nix before it’s too late. Shortly after, a group of cruel and unforgiving bounty hunters kidnap Tom and Benny’s friend, Nix, and take her out in the Ruin – a zombie wasteland. But Benny quickly realizes this may be his only viable option, so Tom takes him under his wing. All he knows is that he does not want to go into his “family business” and become a bounty hunter, like his older brother, Tom. Summary: Benny Imura is struggling with the decision of what career path he should follow. As if that’s not enough, Tanner is assigned to a small ship whose disgruntled crew has no patience for cerebral new recruits, and they’re on the front lines of all of Archangel’s woes. The pirates grow more audacious with every attack. Brutal as it is, Tanner will need the preparation. Basic training becomes six months of daily bareknuckle brawls, demanding cross-training and constant stress. In response, Archangel begins ambitious military expansion. Corporate security fleets are nowhere to be found when trouble arises. Civil war looms beyond the borders of Tanner’s home star system of Archangel. Vicious pirates stalk the space lanes, claiming to fight an oppressive economic system even as they shed innocent blood. Facing homelessness and a mountain of debt, Tanner enlists in his home planet’s tiny navy. Yet when family upheaval brings his otherwise stellar performance in school to a disastrous end, Tanner’s plans for university lie in ruins. He never wanted to wear a uniform or medals. Tanner Malone never bought into military myths of honor and glory. Please visit our loan officer as you exit.” Your financial obligation is 67,879 credits. Congratulations!
